Releasing my fear…

First of all, I have to say thank you to all of you! This blog has now reached over 10,000 hits! I’m very pleased and hope you all keep reading.

And now for the meat:

I LOVE jersey knit fabric but it’s so difficult to sew. It slips and slides and puckers and up until last night, I’d never finished a project with it.

I finally did it! My favorite sewing shop was giving a class about sewing with knits specifically, so Bri and I signed up. I chose a gaudy gold stretch fabric and made a long shirt with a sash (sash not pictured). I call it a shirt but Mariah Carey would call it a dress.

Yay for me! Next up: The Wine-O shirt.

This will seem quite random, but I used to work at a company that sold industrial sewing machines. What kind of Presser Foot and Feed Dog are you using for elastic/stretchy material. There is a way to prevent slipping.
